Giro update: Maggy out; Christian & Ryder ready to rock
Race report from DS Matt White
Unfortunately, Magnus is not well having a mild fever and will not be starting today. There’s no point in pushing him now. It could be detrimental for the weeks to come.
It’s going to be a super hard time trial! 18 km flat and the rest up hill. Only Christian and Ryder will be going for it today. The rest of our boys will be going through the motions. We have a long way and a lot of very big mountains to come!

That’s a bummer about Magnus. Hope he is able to recover quickly… I’ll be watching for Christian and Ryder later today for sure though. Keep rockin’.
All the best you guys, Ryder we are watching you. Good Luck also for the remaining two weeks.
From Beautiful Victoria
Get well soon, didn’t catch the performance of Christian and Ryder but I hope they did well!
Hi Ryder & the rest of Slipstream – Chipotle! I have been watching the Tour de France for the last couple of years and get more hooked each year. Now I am adding the Giro to my sports watching. I am a commuting cyclist from Victoria and I am so happy I have a Canadian to cheer on let along someone who attended the local high school just up the road. Congratulations Rydyer!!! You are doing great. Can’t for the T de F!
